The Statistical Treatment of Data

The statistical treatment of data used a five-point scale. It has a numerical range corresponding
to a descriptive equivalent and its interpretation. It is used to evaluate the impacts of virtual
laboratory classes on aircraft and maintenance technology.

Scale Range Descriptive Equivalent Interpretation

5 4.21-5.00 Very Strong Impact (VSI) Conducting virtual laboratory
classes on aircraft and
maintenance technology
affected the students’
performance all the time.

4 3.41-4.20 Strong Impact (SI) Conducting virtual laboratory

classes on aircraft and
maintenance technology
affected the students’
performance most of the
time.

3 2.61-3.40 Weak Impact (WI) Conducting virtual laboratory

classes on aircraft and
maintenance technology
affected the students’
performance sometimes.

2 1.81-2.60 Very Weak Impact (VWI) Conducting virtual laboratory

classes on aircraft and
maintenance technology
affected the students’
performance a few times.

1 1.00-1.80 No Impact (NI) Conducting virtual laboratory

classes on aircraft and
maintenance technology did
not affect the students’
performance.
